It is a pleasure to welcome you and your children to the Penn-Delco School District. The Pennsylvania School Code provides that all children attending schools receive school health services provided by a Certified School Nurse. Your Certified School Nurse is a unique specialist whose primary role is to strengthen the educational process through improvement of the health status of children and youth. She/he is a registered professional nurse with at least a baccalaureate degree and certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. She/he has an extensive background in health care, health education, school health and the use of community resources. Some of the services provided include health screenings, medical and dental examinations, emergency care, medication administration, maintenance of student health records and monitoring of immunization compliance.

We hope you will find this information useful and that it is a comprehensive and easily accessible reference for you. If you have any additional questions, please call the school nurse in your child’s school. He/ She will be happy to speak with you. The contact information for each school and each Certified School Nurse is listed below.
